Pineapple quilt with piano key border using Chinese Coins in swap patches form a SrapQuiltlovers Forum on Delphi


I have had this top done for almost a year but was in a quandry concerning what to do with borders. I made enough scrap flying geese to do a border but was not happy with the way it looked. I finally came to the conclusion that these chinese coin swap blocks would be just right. They are 2.5 inch strips just like the strips were for the quilt. I used almost all of them for the border and then quilted it myself with free motion "loop de loops. It came out pretty well and I am getting better and better with my free motion.
